Services
From raw capture to a finished answer
Hire us for one stage or the whole job. Most clients bring us a question about a site, and we handle everything from the flight plan to the final drawing set.
01 · Capture
Drone, LiDAR and scanning
We plan every mission backward from the deliverable. The questions you need answered set the sensor, resolution, overlap and control.
- Aerial photogrammetry
- High-overlap imagery for orthomosaics, surface models and textured 3D meshes.
- Aerial LiDAR
- Laser scanning from the air for terrain under vegetation, corridors and dense structure geometry.
- Terrestrial and mobile scanning
- Ground, handheld and interior scanning for equipment rooms, building interiors and underside detail.
- Thermal imaging
- Radiometric imagery for solar arrays, roofs, electrical equipment and building envelopes.
- Multispectral imaging
- Vegetation health and land cover mapping for agriculture and environmental work.
- Close-range structure capture
- Detailed orbits and vertical passes of towers, bridges, facades and other assets.
- Ground control
- Surveyed ground control and independent check points, so accuracy is measured rather than assumed.
Capability matrix
Which capture method produces which deliverable
Many projects combine methods. This is how they typically line up.
| Deliverable | Photogrammetry | Aerial LiDAR | Ground and interior scanning | Thermal | Multispectral |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orthomosaic | ● | ○ | – | ● | ● |
| Point cloud | ● | ● | ● | – | – |
| Terrain and elevation models | ● | ● | ○ | – | – |
| 3D mesh and digital twin | ● | ○ | ● | – | – |

02 · Processing
Point clouds, maps and 3D digital twins
Processing is where most of the work happens. We turn imagery and scans into clean, georeferenced data products, checked against control before they leave our hands.
Common exports: LAS / LAZ · E57 · GeoTIFF · OBJ · KMZ · DWG · RVT · IFC · PDF
- Point clouds
- Classified, colorized and georeferenced clouds from photogrammetry, LiDAR or both combined.
- Orthomosaics
- Measurable, map-accurate aerial images of the whole site.
- Elevation models
- Surface and bare-earth terrain models, contours and cross-sections.
- Meshes and 3D twins
- Textured 3D models of sites and structures to navigate, measure and annotate.
- Merged datasets
- Aerial, ground and interior data registered into one model, from compound to rooftop.
03 · AI analytics
Findings you can act on, checked by people
AI-assisted tools detect, count and measure across the whole dataset. Our analysts review every result, remove false positives and rank findings by severity. Each finding links back to its location in the model.
- Asset detection and inventory
- Equipment, fixtures and features identified and counted, with location and dimensions.
- Change detection
- Comparison between visits showing what was added, removed, moved or changed shape.
- Volumes and quantities
- Stockpile, cut-and-fill and earthwork volumes, plus area and length takeoffs.
- Progress tracking
- Recurring captures compared against schedule or design.
- Condition findings
- Defects and anomalies located, documented with imagery and ranked by severity.
- Thermal and vegetation analytics
- Thermal anomalies by module or component, and vegetation index and encroachment maps.
04 · Engineering and BIM
Drawings, models and analysis from measured conditions
Our engineering team works directly from the captured data, so drawings and models reflect what is actually on site. Where a deliverable needs a seal, licensed professional engineers at our partner firms review and stamp it.
- Scan to BIM
- Revit and IFC models of buildings, plants and structures, built from the point cloud.
- As-built documentation
- Plans, sections and elevations of existing conditions in DWG and PDF.
- Site plans and base maps
- Survey-controlled base drawings for design and permitting.
- Construction drawings
- Drawing sets for modifications, upgrades and new installations, including telecom.
- Structural and mount analysis
- Analysis of towers, mounts and structures using measured geometry.
- Design comparison
- Point cloud to model checks that show where built conditions differ from design.
05 · Delivery
A hosted platform your whole team can use
Results are delivered to a secure web platform, so nobody needs specialist software to open a 3D model. Send a link and your team is looking at the same site.
- View in a browser
- Point clouds, maps and 3D twins open on a laptop or tablet.
- Measure and annotate
- Distances, heights, areas and notes taken directly on the model.
- Findings by severity
- A ranked list of findings, each pinned to its location.
- Compare visits
- Line up captures of the same site over time.
- Share securely
- Access controlled per project and per person.
- Export and integrate
- Files for CAD, BIM and GIS tools, and reports in PDF.
